Ingredients
  

Drink Base
  • 4 large fresh strawberries hulled and sliced
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice

Method
 

  1. Place the sliced strawberries into the bottom of your rocks glass.

  3. Pour the fresh lime juice and simple syrup over the muddled strawberries and stir briefly.
  4. Fill the glass completely to the brim with crushed ice.
  5. Top with chilled sparkling water. Gently stir to pull the strawberry mixture up through the ice.

Notes

To make this a cocktail, add 1.5 oz of white rum, vodka, or gin before adding the crushed ice. For an herbal twist, muddle 3-4 mint leaves with the strawberries.
